The War of 1812
The detachment being in the woods, immediately lightened themselves by throwing off their knapsacks and have packs containing their rations and gallantly advanced upon the Indians, who retreated and were pursued about two miles and a half, where they reached their main force, estimated at equal in numbers to that of the Americans, and after a spirited and severe fight they were defeated, Miller's loss being 17 killed and wounded, while that of the enemy was 30 whites and 104 Indians killed and wounded.
This engagement, the principal one connected with the surrender of Detroit, is designated in the records of the War Department as the battle of Browns-town.
